ID card, as the residence identification penetrating into all social life, has become the necessary certificate for all the people; at the same time because of the uniqueness of ID card, to guarantee the lawful benefits of the citizens, more and more industries require the ID registration for ensurance of lawfulness, security and accuracy. For example, public security, Customs, bank real-name system, stock opening, insurance, hotel start the real-name system and ID card registration management.

Especially for the airport, Customs, border patrol, traffic and public security which is responsible for inspection and supervision, the ID card check proves to be of much importance: routine check of ID card in the airport, Customs, border patrol is an important means for the public security authorities to hold and arrest criminals, and to examine the Certificates; The ID card registration in hotel help public security authorities to obtain relative direction where the criminals at large go, suspected criminals for arrest and detection; additionally the household register requires ID card registration. Concluded from the mentioned above, check authorities are facing high pressure of handling and managing a mass of certificates.

During traditional verification of ID card, the validity of ID card information depends upon judgement of the checker's eyesight, which brings two problems of certificate check and management:

Firstly, the verification of ID card validity is by no means a simple issue. There is no doubt that false-certificate technology is developing along with that of anti-false technology, so it is hard to distinguish the validity of ID card only by eyesight. Though some checkers in public security authorities have accumulated abundant experience as per this, the number of them is rather small against the large team of public security and border patrol authorities; what is more, the identification mode can not keep away from judgement mistakes.

Secondly, ID card information can not be collected, which is the most difficulty the checkers are confronted with during the certificate management. The development of Internet has brought great change to our life mode, makes it fast to communicate among which information share has been the most urgent demand of check authorities. However, among the current ID card information collection, manual input is the main means which is hard to avoid mistakes and to construct a united and normative ID card information database, which results in the check authorities suffer from the delay and low efficiency due to lack of overall information support when executing inspection and bank loan check. Especially with the support of network, cases of committing crimes with high technology is tend to rapidly increase.

Therefore, effective utilization of computer technology to ensure the ID card check to be high-efficient, collection of ID card information and establishment of database to be accurate and intact, becomes principal problems for check authorities' systems.

The first is due to complexity of ID card image. ID card is composed of cross hatching, laser anti-false marks and useful data information, while image scanned by general scanner is with bad result in that laser anti-false cross hatching, page noise and useful information are all mixed together, no way to solely collect up the useful information. The second problem lies in distinctness between laser anti-false marks and printed data in ID card which results in extreme non-stability when recognizing the information. In addition, Chinese characters in ID card are too many which belong to multi styles & large character assembly identification, and with deviation of image quality, both greatly influencing the identification results.

In order to put an end at certificate falsification, our current ID card largely adopts anti-false marks, so ordinary scan and information collection technology is hard to filter anti-false marks, while obviously the marks will greatly effects the identification of original ID card information. For complexity of ID card image background, existence of laser anti-false shading cross hatching and all kinds of noise, distinctness of laser anti-false marks and printed data leading to extreme non-stability when identifying information, all bring inconvenience to the information collection and file keeping. So information collection and management of ID card has become the most important subject of China in the new century. The situation also indicates a wide market potentiality for applicable products. Shezhen Syscan Technology Co., Ltd. well understanding the business opportunity and exploiting own technology advantages, is the first to launch serial products of special ID card information collection system - FS531 aiming at individuation demand of identification technology in all fields.

FS531 portable scanner is capable to smoothly solve the above problems. The product after the technology treatment both in hardware and in software is to form an intact system of certificate information collection and management technology with combination of software and hardware. For the hardware, Syscan Technology is the first in China to develop and manufacture special ID card CIS module to eliminate the disturbing information such as laser anti-false crossing hatching in ID card; as per software, FS531 integrates globally advanced TH-OCR (optical character recognization) of Tsinghua Ziguang Winton Co., Ltd. to develop practical identification system for simultaneous acquirement of image & text aiming at the demand of ID card management. The product with accurate position, high recognization ratio and strong adaptation is able to accurately and quickly collect ID card information, even for the ID card in minority languages, together with certain functions of false-certificate prevention and certificate filter.

With identification software of the product, FS531 is able to easily filter most anti-false marks in ID card when scanning the image, obtain and save excellent original image on ID card. What is more important, after capturing the original image of ID card with special scanner in FS531, all parts of ID card information can be collected respectively, the characters can be cut and recognized and name, address, minority, ID card No. guided into the database of application system, and then execute the data management by special procedures for forming a standardized database, which is much convenient for staff of public security authorities to share, inquiry and search the data, achieving a high-efficient, rapid information applying and handling. If to combine with ID card database of public security authorities, ID card can be verified and on-line arrest can be effected.

FS531 special scanner is to carry through special treatment of scanner hardware, for effectively eliminate cross hatching and anti-false information in ID card when scanning.

Since the system adopts opening ports, it can be combined with other business application systems, i.g., hotel management system, public security management system and Customs to perfect respective ID card business system for accomplishing management and handling of data.
